Great experience, super nice staff! The food was delicious and our waiter gave us recommendations. The drink options are not the same as most restaurants... I don't think they have a full bar. However that doesn't matter the food was amazing had a tiny bit for leftovers and still delicious. We went the night with the belly dancer and she was super fun and nice.
